I know you’re scared, but you deserve to be happy. So put some of that bravery to use for yourself for a change.

This was waaaay more smutty and a lot less murderous than I anticipated.  It’s actually quite insane that I wanted the serial killer aspect of this to be explored more. Nevertheless a quick read and Weaver delivered a solid dark romance; I enjoyed the crazy journey and succinct writing. 

Mind the TW’s bc the author brazenly holds no bars back, e.g. descriptive body gore,

the opening scene is Sloane (FMC) trapped in a small space with her latest murder victim who is literally three days into the decomposition process, and the maggots that burst from his stomach are compared to crawling ORZO PASTA.

Quel agréable surprise, un roman original, un peu osé et drôle à la fois, c'était une lecture rafraîchissante.

J'ai adoré découvrir les personnages de Rowan & Sloane, deux tueurs en séries qui tue d’autres tueurs en séries , qui se croisent non stop et se lancent dans une compétition et passent d’ennemies-to-friends-to-lovers…Que demander de mieux. Les moments “gore” ne m'ont pas dérangé au contraire ça à vraiment rajouté ce petit plus à la romance même si j’admet que les scène Spicy était trés hot et très trash (pas trop mon délire) mais sa aller avec les caractère des personnages.

L’épilogue m'a quand même laissé sur une fin, j’en veux plus et j’ai justement hâte de découvrir l’histoire de Lark et Lachlan parce que je pense que l’épilogue est connecté au tome 2.
